Shareholder resolutions are a meaningful way for shareholders to encourage corporate responsibility and discourage company practices that are unsustainable or unethical.
Shareholder resolutions allow shareholders to propose changes and express their view to management and the board of directors. This enables the shareholders, as owners of the company, to influence its policies and direction.
A written resolution is an alternative way for shareholders to vote on a resolution that requires their approval to become effective. Importantly, the company does not need to convene a general meeting. This saves considerable time and expense.
A corporate resolution refers to either a decision of the shareholders at a shareholders' meeting or a decision of the board of directors at a directors' meeting.
As a general rule, resolutions of the shareholders' meeting are passed by a simple majority of votes, without the requirement of a quorum – unless otherwise stipulated in the limited liability company's articles of association or the Commercial Code. There is one vote for each share of equal nominal value.
What should shareholder resolutions include? Your corporation's name. Date, time and location of meeting. Statement that all shareholders agree to the resolution. Confirmation of the necessary quorum for business to be conducted. Names of shareholders present or voting by proxy. Number of shares for each voting shareholder.
The body of a resolution is written as a long sentence, and starts with the name of the committee, followed by a comma. The remainder of the body of a resolution is divided into two parts: preambulatory clauses and operative clauses.
A resolution has two parts: the heading and the body. The heading is the administrative/organizational portion of a resolution and contains the name of the committee, the topic, and the names of the sponsoring countries, the countries that are signatories, and the committee code.
